A quirky blend of Victorian formalism and trailer park kitsch, this custom cabin cruiser is ideal for the vagabond spirit who considers that a voyage is a destination.
This is a free Poser
4 ready prop that includes a blimp, a gondola cabin, observation deck,
and propulsion system. The kit features .pp2 prop files, hires texture
maps, and uvmap templates as well as a
hc-air-cabin-v2.00.pz3 scene file that includes a parented hierarchy.
Important
Tips for easy use of this airship kit in your poser scenes:
The airship kit assembly is a collection of eight .pp2
prop files.
This
is the easy way to use the kit
I
have included the hc-air-cabin-v2.00.pz3 scene file. The props
are all loaded and they are parented in a hierarchy referenced to the
gondola cabin. The .pz3 will only work if you follow the install instructions
carefully. If you put all the files in the right place the .pz3 will open
right up and you can try a test render.
This is a test render made immediately after opening the pz3.
You may wish to add props without using the supplied .pz3 file. Once the
airship kit files are installed you can add each prop item individually.
The separate prop files are parented to Universe...rather than
the gondola. This allows you to easily use a portion of the kit in other
scenes. The prop names have sequential numbers for convenience. If you
add all the props to the scene manually they should appear with correct
placement but before you move anything create a hierarchy so that movement
of the whole assembly can be controlled easily. Please note that these
props are large and may completely fill your viewing window. When this
happens make sure you move your camera and not the prop until you have
set the hierarchy.
This
is the hierarchy I use:
blimp
gondola
platform
safety-rail
L-engine-pylon
L-engine
R-engine-pylon
R-engine
How to
install the airship kit:
unzip the hc-air-cabin-v2.00.zip file to a temporary directory.
You will find several folders containing files in the temporary poser
4/~ directory. Copy the new folders and files into the relative folders
in your real poser 4/runtime/~ directories.....
copy
the harmonic C airship folder containing these prop files:
hc airship blimp.pp2
hc airship blimp.rsr
hc airship 1
gondola.pp2
hc airship 1 gondola.rsr
hc airship 2 platform.pp2
hc airship 2 platform.rsr
hc airship 3 safe rail.pp2
hc airship 3 safe rail.rsr
hc airship 4 L pylon.pp2
hc airship 4 L pylon.rsr
hc airship 5 R pylon.pp2
hc airship 5 R pylon.rsr
hc airship 6 L engine.pp2
hc airship 6 L engine.rsr
hc airship 7 R engine.pp2
hc airship 7 R engine.rsr
paste this harmonic C airship folder into poser 4/Runtime/Libraries/Props/
you will
need a harmonic cycle folder in your poser4/Textures/ directory. Create
this folder if you do not already have one from a previous installation.
copy the blimp folder containing these texture files:
blimp-harmonic-cycle.jpg
hc-blimp-engine-pod.jpg
hc-blimp-eng-pylon.jpg
hc-blimp-gondola.jpg
hc-blimp-platform.jpg
hc-blimp-safe-rail.jpg
paste this blimp folder into poser 4/Runtime/Textures/harmonic
cycle/

UV Map texture templates are provided for your custom use. Please consider sending me some of the textures you create.
Please let me know about any improvements or new textures you might make. I hope to add a ladder step to the rear deck as well as landing gear (maybe some spider legs) and eventually create a detailed cabin interior stage setting for the gondola.
I need help spreading
the word about my
original instrumental electric guitar music.
